Famous quotes containing the word husbands:
“This was the Eastham famous of late years for its camp- meetings, held in a grove near by, to which thousands flock from all parts of the Bay. We conjectured that the reason for the perhaps unusual, if not unhealthful development of the religious sentiment here, was the fact that a large portion of the population are women whose husbands and sons are either abroad on the sea, or else drowned, and there is nobody but they and the ministers left behind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Ah! how annoying that the law doesn’t allow a woman to change husbands just as one does shirts.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
“...women should be silent in the churches.... If there is anything they desire to know, let them ask their husbands at home.”
—Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 14:34.
